Revision timetable
Your child should be taking the time to create a weekly revision timetable in preparation for their PPEs which will begin the week commencing 12th October. At this stage, we expect a minimum of 5 hours of revision per week. Students are welcome to complete this revision at home or in the Study Zone. (The Study Zone is a quiet area available for students to use after school. Staff will be available to support with any questions.)
